    Default New NVIDIA GTX 1070 not working, can someone help?

    So I was using a GTX 660ti and thought I would splurge, raided the penny jar and picked up a GTX 1070. When I plugged it up....nothing. Here are the deets on my system:

    Intel i7-3820 @ 3.60
    Ram 16 GB
    64 Bit
    PCU 800W
    Using PCIE x16 slot on motherboard (Tried all slots actually)

    It's getting power and I get the system intro screen (Basically the computer system advertisement upon boot up) but after that nothing. I don't even hear the computer processing like it's starting up. Works great when I plug up the 660ti but nothing with the 1070. Any thoughts guys? Am I missing a setting?

    Not to insult your intelligence but the 8 pin power is plugged in right?

    Who is the manufacturer? If it works with a known good part and is plugged in, id contact them. Should be plug and play.

    Yeah, got the 8 pin plugged in. I have 6 pin x2, 2 pin x1, and an 8 pin. It gets power with both the 8 pin and a 6+2.

    Is the monitor connected to the GPU or to Motherboard? Try uninstalling drivers and then plug GTX 1070. Also, try going into BIOS and setting BIOS to default settings.

    Well, tried all that and nothing. :( Kept kicking me out of the bios too. After dong more research I think it's the mother board to be honest, there haven't been any new updates for it since 2013. I also tried putting in the gtx 970 and nothing. Tried some older cards and they worked just fine. I am thinking my quest for a 1070 may just lead to a whole new rig.

    What is your motherboard Model number?

    I was also curious if maybe the processor might be a bit too old. (Intel i7-3820 @ 3.60) Then again my knowledge on what should and won't work is very very limited.

    I had that motherboard along with an i7 3820. I still have that same i7, only in an ASUS Sabertooth X79 now. Something was never right about that Gigabyte motherboard for me. Since I replaced it (2 years ago I think?) with the Sabertooth, it's been smooth sailing. I hear I'm missing out on PCIE 3.0, but only a few FPS. Maybe 2017 will be the year of the guts of this PC are replaced...

    Anyway, I didn't trust that board and ditched it. Before you do anything expensive, try that 1070 in a more recent system just to confirm it's working.
